getting used to my new haircut

The first day and a half that I had this haircut I was noticing that my head felt weird. Literally, not meaning I had a headache or balance issues, but my head was enough lighter for me to notice the difference, and I had not expected that.

By yesterday morning, I was used to it except when lying down; that may take a little longer. (It's not a bad "feels weird," just noticing change.

upcoming primary elections

This is probably redundant, but just FYI: Connecticut, Minnesota, Vermont, and Wisconsin have primary elections this Tuesday, August 14. Early voting is available in all except Connecticut, and if you're in Wisconsin and so inclined, Penzey's stores are giving out red, white, and blue bunting (as well as the current email offer of free granulated shallots and cinnamon sugar with a $5 purchase, whether or not you're in Wisconsin). They would really like you to go out and vote for Tammy Baldwin, even though she doesn't have a primary opponent, as a "so there" to the Republicans, though they put it more kindly. (Let me know if you would like me to forward you the email offer.)
